I recently shot 3 classic motorcycles Hagerty’s Insurance. A Honda CBX, it had 6 cylinders, a Velocette, and 1971 Yamaha. These were living in a classic bike museum and they were beautiful. Simply Spotless. I like bikes, I just don’t want to ride one, but this is a whole nother story. That Honda sounded like an F1 car, I couldn’t believe how compact and refined and tight that motor was, so reliable, so perfect. It was a big bike though, not something to toss around. It was the Velocette that caught my eye, A compact efficent classic look, it looked like it was moving just sitting still, this was probably my favorite out of the three. Vintage stuff always catches my heart. So of course I awoke to rain. Theres nothing like being a photographer with only one day to shoot a story and seeing rain. You awake at 6am, you peek out from behind the curtains, its grey, its wet, you can see the raindrops hitting the puddles, well we said we’d meet at 9am at the museum…and its still wet at 9, but theres hope, the weatherman says a small window of sunshine is expected from 10-2. YES!!  I don’t want to tell you what time I got my first shot off, but it was sunny, it was sunny all day, the rain left and stayed gone. We did car to bike moving photography, pan blurs, and those static beauty shots and tons of details. I must admit, its alot faster shooting the dashboard of a bike than a car interior. We worked very hard and fast, am I happy? oh yeah!
